Will Gamefly this sucker in a month or so (when I get near a console again), but I can't see myself purchasing a game that only has around 12-20 hours worth of gameplay and what I've read to be no replayabiity.

I think so, but I'm torn so far. The execution of each case is very well done, the acting is top notch, and I love the performance capturing technology (even if it is creepy at times).

So far, though, this game plays like a series of mini-games, but I'm not getting how it all comes together. I'm only two hours in, though, and there are some narrative ties. We'll see after I spend more time with it.

I saw a show that reviewed this game today, and now I'm thinking about getting it - but the one thing holding me back is replay-value, because I think there is 0 replay value to this, much like "Enter game who's name is escaping me right now, detective game, cut your fingers off, context sensitive, etc"

Phoenix Wright?

I'm loving this game right now. Feels rewarding when you crack the case open in interrogation.

How long is the game, roughly? If anyone knows.

And no, no - not Phoenix Wright, I can't think of any type of descriptive words to actually remember the game, it's pissing me off. It came out last year, you play a dude trying to find a killer, your choices float around people's heads and whatnot. God damnit.

I tried renting this today but everywhere was out, so I just got Alan Wake instead.

Just gonna say it now, I call BS so much BS on that ending.

The game really does fall apart after homicide is all I'm gonna say.

I think its gets more interesting after homicide. The ending could be a bit better, but everything after homicide is more relevant to your character. Did you find all the newspapers? They really help get the full experience. Theres a good cut scene after the credits too.
